Maelstrom: So, do tell us, Dr. Bellum, who in the world is this Chase Devineaux?

Bellum: Formerly an inspector of Interpol. Any current assignment is completely unknown. Devineaux was quietly transferred from his department in Poitiers, France, nearly six months ago.

"Oh that's going to draw attention." Gray says.

Cleo: Poitiers? Where I keep a residence?

"This is bad." Julia says feeling anxious for her partner.

Maelstrom: The very residence looted by Carmen Sandiego nearly six months ago. Coincidence?

Brunt: Devineaux was there that night. Black Sheep delivered Crackle to him on the train to Paris, wrapped up all pretty with a bow.

"Delivered? I was just trying to stop him from following me." Carmen says.

"Well at least you didn't hand me to the rozzers on purpose." Gray says.

"Rozzers?" Player asks.

"I believe is is an Australian slang term for cop." Julia says.

Cleo: This Devineaux also barged into my Swiss chateau during a dinner party, distracting me long enough to allow Carmen Sandiego to make her escape with my precious stolen Vermeer paintings in tow. And to think I had suspected the charming duke of being her inside man.

Ivy bursts into laughter as Carmen and Gray are baffled.

"I can't believe she likes him." Ivy says through her laughter.

Maelstrom: Then it seems that we have
discerned a pattern, one which explains how Carmen Sandiego has repeatedly foiled our plans with such a high rate of success.

Bellum: She isn't working alone.

"No I'm not, but he is not one of my teammates." Carmen says.

Brunt: Sounds to me like we have ourselves a plan B, as in "bait."

"It'll work to. Red won't just leave him to VILE's mercy." Player says.

"What mercy?" Gray grumbles under his breath.

Cleo: Catch Chase Devineaux, and we finally catch the elusive Carmen Sandiego.

"Wait... didn't Sera say this was the last episode? Does that mean VILE wins?" Player akss.

"Don't worry kid, she said it was the last season of season ONE, there's more to come. Everything will work out." Gray says. Player relaxes hearing it.

Maelstrom: We'll put Paper Star on the case. She led us to ACME, after all.

Shadowsan: This is not child's play. We do not know if Black Sheep has partnered with a rogue policeman or a high-level law enforcement agency.

Maelstrom: Then whom would you suggest we send, Shadowsan?

Shadowsan: I will go.

Everyone looks at Shadowsan who is scowling at the screen like he's trying to set it on fire with his mind.

"If he is with VILE then why is he here? He will take this information back to them." Chase says nervous that the scary samurai was going to hurt him.

"Sera said secrets will be revealed this episode, so maybe we're going to find out why he's here." Carmen says. Carmen isn't sure how she feels about her former teachers presence, yes he's with VILE but Sera said they were here to bring VILE down. So why would she bring him unless there was something else going on here?
